Kurzbeschreibung
Lucrezia Borgia - an infamous murderess or simply the victim of bad press? Lucrezia Borgia's name has echoed through history as a byword for evil - a poisoner who committed incest with her natural father, Pope Alexander VI, and with her brother, Cesare Borgia. Long considered the most ruthless of Italian Renaissance noblewomen, her tarnished reputation has prevailed long since her own lifetime. In this definitive biography, a work of huge scholarship and erudition, Sarah Bradford gives a fascinating account of Lucrezia's life in all its colourful controversy. Daughter, sister, wife and mother, Lucrezia Borgia was surrounded by wealth, privilege and intrigue. But what was the truth behind her extraordinary existence - was she a monster of cruelty and deceit, or simply the pawn of her power-hungry father and brother?

A Thorough Treatment of a Fascinating Woman
25. Januar 2010
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is detailed, thorough, well researched and well thought out. If you are not familiar with the time period and the large cast of characters, it might be overwhelming. This book brings to life a woman history has been neither kind to nor treated with honesty or respect -- she deserves better.

Lucrezia Borgia
12. Dezember 2009
Unable to sleep, need a soporific. Pick up this snorer.
The overleaf states "The very name Lucrezia Borgia conjures up everything that was sinister and corrupt about the Renaissance-incest, political assassination, papal sexual abuse, poisonous intrigue, unscrupulous power grabs..." Sounds great, no? Unfortunately this is the most interesting part of the book.
Ms. Bradford's writing is stylistically stilted and flat. She has no ability to weave a tale even from this material which is so rich. Her efforts at painting the backdrop of history consist of endless lists of familial relations between the major and mostly minor nobility associated with the Borgias. This sorry offering does no justice to the history of Lucrezia Borgia, whose reputation she says she is attempting to illuminate and repair, or to the reader who must plow through a prose that is as dull as a butter knife.
